Winslow Management Releases Special Edition of Winslow Environmental News - "Green Energy 3.0 - This Time, It Is Different"
Winslow’s Green Investing Newsletter Begins 17th Year of Publication, Focusing On 2007 Outlook For Green Energy Investing
(CSRwire) January 29, 2007 -- Winslow Management Company, LLC, a pioneer in green
investing since 1983, recently released a special “Green Energy” issue
of Winslow Environmental News to commence its 17th year of
publication. The January 2007 edition of Winslow Environmental
News focuses on Winslow’s outlook for the green energy sector in
2007 and beyond.
While the prospects for green energy have risen and fallen several times
over the last 30 years, Winslow believes that for the first time a truly
robust and sustainable industry is being created, supported by a broad
range of environmental, economic and political trends. Energy security
and climate change have received an increasing amount of attention over
the last 12-18 months. Events in Iraq, Iran and Venezuela have
highlighted the dangers of American dependence on imported oil. And this
week, the U.N.’s fourth annual report on climate change is expected to
confirm the widely held view that human activity is causing significant
global warming.
This edition of Winslow Environmental News focuses on these trends,
which are driving an unprecedented amount of interest and capital to the
green energy sector. The newsletter is available for download at www.winslowgreen.com; for print
copies please call 1-866-804-5414.
Winslow Management Company has focused on green investing since its
founding in 1983, and has published the Winslow Environmental News
since 1989. The company is the adviser to the Winslow Green Growth Fund, a
no-load, small-cap growth mutual fund that invests in small, innovative
green companies. The November 2006 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal
Finance magazine named the Fund the Best Socially Screened Fund of
2006. In August, the Fund’s manager earned the #1-rankingwithin the
aggressive growth category according to the 2006 Barron’s/Value
Line ranking of the nation’s top mutual fund managers. * Winslow’s
strategy is to find hidden opportunities among the small companies in these
market niches - companies that appear poised for rapid growth, or companies
whose stocks are unrecognized by the broader market. Information about
Winslow and the Winslow Green Growth Fund is available at www.winslowgreen.com.
In addition to publishing the Winslow Environmental News, Winslow
has offered information regarding green energy to a variety of media
sources, including Time, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Investors
Business Daily, SmartMoney, Kiplinger’s, Forbes, Bloomberg, CNBC,
the Chicago Tribune, TheStreet.com, Investment Advisor and
Financial Planning.
“We don’t think there has ever been a stronger investment story for
alternative energy,” said Jack Robinson, President of Winslow Management
and lead manager for the Winslow Green Growth Fund. “It is increasingly
cheaper than traditional energy, undeniably better for the environment,
and politically and economically it’s more important to the U.S. than
ever before.”
The Winslow Green Growth Fund is available in investor and institutional
share classes, and can be purchased directly or through a number of
brokerage platforms. Winslow Management Company also manages separate
accounts for individuals and institutions, and a hedge fund that is open
to qualified investors.
Winslow Management Company, LLC, headquartered in Boston, MA is an
SEC-registered investment advisory firm that specializes in
environmentally responsible, small-cap growth investing. Managing assets
for individuals, corporations, foundations and institutions, Winslow has
been a pioneer in the field of green investing since 1983. For more

In connection with the Winslow Green Growth Fund, investors should call
888-314-9049 to request a prospectus that includes investment objectives,
risks, fees, expenses and other information that they should read
carefully and consider carefully before investing.
The Fund invests in small and medium capitalization companies.
Investments in these companies involve greater risk, such as limited
product lines, markets, and financial or managerial resources.
*The Barron’s/Value Line fund manager survey screened 3,334 equity
funds, eliminating funds with more than two lead managers and funds
managed by managers with less that three years tenure. It also eliminated
sector funds and funds with less than $100 million in assets. 505 managers
finally qualified to be scored based on how much risk-adjusted value they
added relative to others with the same Value Line investment objective.
The Fund was subjectively awarded the Best Socially Screened Fund 2006
award by the editors and staff at Kiplinger's. Kiplinger's did not define
any specific criteria or prerequisites for award consideration, other than
funds which maintained social screens. Distributed by Foreside Fund
Services, LLC.
